With babies come dreams. We look into our baby's eyes and promise to be the best parent we can be. As new parents, and with each new developmental stage, we look to others for wisdom. Everyone has an opinion, but with so many differing opinions coming from every direction, you can feel like no choice you make is right, and you can feel sadly incompetent.

People just like you are being programmed for unhappiness and a general sense of lack, by repeating generation after generation of less than effective advice, making true happiness as a parent, a family, or a young athlete - virtually impossible to achieve. This kind of advice has cheated you and your family of true joy and passion, which has resulted in experiencing life as less than satisfactory!

Old advice binds you into a way of thinking that keeps you, your family and talented youth athletes from being all that you can be.

IT'S TIME FOR A FAMILY MAKEOVER!!

You have heard that old advice, probably from trusted friends or family . . .

OLD ADVICE: There are only "right ways" and "wrong ways".

OLD ADVICE: You are limited in your ability based on how you were raised, your partner or lack thereof, you or your kid's temperment, your education, your environment, or just bad the luck.

OLD ADVICE: While following your instincts might work for some, it probably won't work for YOU.

OLD ADVICE: Everyone has to suffer, be tired, be overstressed, especially women.

I will teach you things the others have not - simply because they didn't know how . . .

. . . and I will walk you through exactly how to utilize it.

You can decide to leave this page right now, and you know what will happen when you do that?

Everything in you and your family's life will continue to be

exactly the same as it's always been.

Because your your thinking HAS NOT changed.

Because your belief system HAS NOT changed - the one that you're so comfortable with,

and yet has left you wondering how much more you can deal with - will stay intact.

Whether you believe you can do something or not, you are right.

- Henry Ford

Give yourself the gift of the following thoughts, because if you will just allow yourself to hear this - you'll open yourself to . . .

. . . unlimited possibility.

The old advice has us focusing on what we cannot change. Simply by changing our beliefs that do not serve us and putting our focus on things we can change, suddenly we can see

all of our creative abundance and manifest happiness and our desired goals.

Consider this the education and support you've wanted all along.

For if we had learned about our True Self and our True Parent as kids - if we had been allowed and encouraged to follow our passions and bliss - including the rite of passage of Parenthood, what a different world it would be!

Being connected to your True Self and gaining confidence in your instinct and intuition comes from integrating the mind, body and heart. It transforms isolation, anger and hopelessness and uncovers the fertile ground of compassion and cooperation for the whole family.

Just like our little ones, you don't have to know how to run

- to take the first step.

In addition to the FREE Family Solutions Newsletter, there are live interactive group teleclasses, subject-specific follow-up teleseminars, personal parent, family and youth athete coaching, articles, audio, and expert interviews. All are specifically designed to bring forth the best of you - to awaken and clear the pathway to be . . .

Enjoy this one hour free teleclass where you'll gain an understanding of reframing your words so kids will listen to you, breaking through the beliefs that don't serve you anymore, child development, learning styles, etc. Learn more about being a happier, healthier parent and have happier, healthier kids!

The Today Show

Parent Coaching - highlighted in July 2007

[excerpts] . . . . "You’ve probably perused the labyrinth of parenting books out there, and still feel like your questions are sometimes left unanswered. Good news: YOU’RE NOT ALONE!! . . . [Parent Coaching will] regain your position as the parent by illustrating to your child that you’re establishing boundaries that will be followed through with consistency."

The New York Times

"Parent Coaching, the newest self-help approach for overstretched parents, is catching on for several reasons...It is usually done by phone, letting parents squeeze in sessions without hiring baby sitters or taking time from work...Several parents said coaches have helped them change their children's behavior, or at least not get so upset or harbor unrealistic expectations." - The New York Times, March 13, 2005

[excerpts from article - Local Woman Launches Parenting Venture]

. . . . "the time was right".

So, Sharon [O'Sullivan] launched Parenting with Kindness, an Internet venture through which she offers telephone conference-call classes and one-on-one coaching for folks in need of help with raising their children.

The 41-year-old mom of two elementary school-age boys had decided - over the course of the past two or three years - to build up to her goal of becoming a public speaker on parenting by employing a Web site and teleclasses as a starting point.

"But I was completely overwhelmed with the idea of doing a Web site, because I knew nothing about it," said Sharon, who holds a bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Superior and a master's in personal and organizational development from the San Francisco Bay area's John F. Kennedy University.

Web solution

She overcame that Internet hurdle via a conversation with her sister, who was developing a Web site and who nudged Sharon in the direction of giving it a try.

Sharon found some user-friendly aids to Web site development and wound up creating her own site . . . . and her new business was off and running.

She's dealt with the sluggish economy by offering bonus packages to people who enlist her services.

Parenting with Kindness, she told me during an interview last month, "is about remembering that children are born with an innate goodness, and learning to reconnect with the love you have with your children, and falling in love with them again and again and again."

"By connecting with your true parent inside you," she said of the intuitive side of a person's nature, "you can take a breath before making a choice to yell or not to yell and find that inner compassion and love that will support and nurture your entire family."

Model solution

Much of what she does, she said, is aimed at helping her clients "take responsibility and be role models for their children."

In addition to teleclasses and coaching, Sharon also offers a free, online newsletter that's updated monthly.

Starting in 1987, the native of northern Wisconsin worked for 10 years as a program director and counselor in the world of mental health nonprofits in her home state and in California . . . . while living in Indianapolis, she worked in sales, taught classes in self-improvement, and owned a small health food business . . . ." - By Rich Wittish - Savannah Morning News, Feb. 11, 2009
